WILL - Women Interested in Leaving Law
The WILL Podcast - For Women Lawyers Searching for Freedom, Flexibility and Fulfilment. Are you tired of having to “always be available,” the anxiety, and a nagging sense that something is missing? The WILL Podcast offers an honest exploration for how to find relief, meaning and work that allows you to enjoy your life, (without throwing away all you’ve invested). This podcast is for any woman lawyer who has ever questioned if they want to stay in law or not. Here you’ll find a window into how others have dealt with the money, identity and figured out what else they could do (in law or out). Each episode is a journey into the lives of women lawyers who got fed up with the status quo. You’ll hear about persistent doubt, piles of debt, and physical and mental depletion. Our guests reveal how they navigated the expectations of workplace cultures and inner critics that keep them isolated and wondering “what’s wrong with me.” You’ll hear conversations not being shared beyond a whisper in the halls of big law. You’ll discover: * Inspirational stories of lawyers who’ve redefined success on their own terms * Strategies to overcome the common career pitfalls women lawyers get stuck in * Ideas for how to realign work with your deepest values and aspirations Hosted by Elena Deutsch, a dedicated legal career coach and catalyst, the WILL Podcast is more than a good listen — it may inspire a movement. With WILL Alumni and Guests breaking the confines of traditional practice, you’ll see that change is not just possible for them, but for you too. If you think, “I’ve got to get out of here, but I don’t know what else to do, and I’m trepidatious,” you’ve found a sanctuary. WILL is where doubt transforms into daring, and frustration becomes freedom.

Imagine you are a Romanian immigrant Lawyer who relocates to New York at 22 years old, re-does law school and passes the NY Bar.
Imagine you think you have to be “Superwoman” and do it all - set up and run a business, have a baby, look a certain way - and not realize the mistakes you're making along the way.
Imagine you’re arrested and your 14 year-old daughter sees your mug shot while watching TV after school.
Andreea Parc never asked for help in her law practice because she thought “I can handle it.” Even while on trial for unethical practices, she felt that her ignorance of US procedures would lead to a non-guilty result.
She made a mistake, and went to prison.
Yet instead of prison being the proverbial “cage”, Andreea felt free; liberated from the pressures of perfection, shame and a “Superwoman” identity.
She shared everything she learned with her teenage daughter Alexa Dumitru, and created a dual-journey of transformation.
Mother and daughter honestly share their experiences and how Andreea’s journey to prison, ultimately set both of them free.
About Andreea
Andreea helps attorneys and law firms prevent ethical, financial, and emotional crises before they happen.
Because prevention isn’t just about compliance — it’s about sparing yourself, your team, and your clients from the pain that follows when awareness breaks down.
As a former attorney in private practice and CFO to the New York Taxi King (who was also an attorney), Andreea has lived through the high-stakes pressure, temptations, and blind spots and the decisions and behaviours that resulted in quiet destruction of even the most successful careers, firms and business.
Today, through Quantum Risk Management Consulting, she bring that lived experience into a holistic framework that blends law, psychology, geneology, ethics, and human awareness — helping professionals recognize and manage risk from the inside out.

Do you spend much of your day thinking: “I need to do XYZ…”?

Here are three questions that quickly cut through the internal noise.
Listen to these three simple questions.
And because I LOVE you for being here, and value your time, here they are!
Here they are:
What do I think, “I need to do?”
If I could see things differently, how might I see them?
What does my highest, wisest self, want me to know?
Listen in to play along and…
Find clarity and emotional relief.
Trigger deeper insights and see things differently.
Connect with your higher self to provide guidance.

Imagine you manage to navigate the pressures and achievements of your legal career, yet feel an overwhelming sense of anxiety and dissatisfaction.
Imagine that after you set boundaries and say “no”, you see nothing bad happened. This helps you loosen the grip of perfectionism, and unlock opportunities that align with your true self.

Imagine feeling stuck in a high-paying legal job as you’re buried deep in student loan debt.
Imagine having everything you ever wanted in a career - Your dream job right in front of you, and then realizing you absolutely hate it.
Imagine feeling unsure how to make a change…until one conversation shifts everything.
In this inspiring episode, Jessica Medina shares how she went from being completely burnt out and in financial overwhelm, to a place of freedom, clarity, and renewed energy.
She talks through the dawning realization that her dream job in enforcement is far from what she imagined. Burnt out, indebted and lacking love in her career, Jessica chose a new career path that not only helped her decrease her own debt, but help others in the same way.
In this episode, she talks about:
How the fear of financial security shuts down processing and the ability to think.
Opening the mindset of clients to see beyond the ‘safe path’ and begin to feel passionate and dream.
How she helps clients gain the freedom to make intentional choices.
Many lawyers feel stuck in their jobs because of financial obligations, especially student loan debt. But once they gain clarity and control over their finances, it opens up real options: career pivots, sabbaticals, travel, or simply breathing room to reassess.
If this sounds like you, then we invite you to listen in and begin to dream again.
About Jessica
Jessica Medina is a lawyer turned Accredited Financial Counselor on a mission to help attorneys create the financial freedom they need to do big things. She graduated from Columbia Law School in 2004 as a single mom of twins with over $200,000 in student loans and went straight to work at a big law firm.
After eight years she switched roles and became Senior Counsel at the Division of Enforcement at the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. She left the government to work in an area of the financial industry outside of the securities world and now teaches other lawyers how to use their money to finance their dream lives. She especially enjoys working with her WILL member-clients to help them craft their exit plans and pursue their true passions.

When Mel Robbins agrees with you...
Have you ever been in this situation before women in law?
Your heart races when an unexpected email comes in from a difficult partner, or you wake up with a jolt in the middle of the night.
You wish you could stop the spiraling, self-doubt and overthinking but just keep going to that worst case scenario.
How about this instead?
You have a simple, discreet tool you can use anytime, anywhere.
It's effective in the office, on a call or in the courtroom.
Use it and you feel calm, clear, and in control.
Anxiety is one of the biggest challenges women lawyers face.
From constant deadlines to unpredictable demands.
The profession trains you to live in a state of high alert. But you don’t have to stay stuck in that state.
In this solo episode, I share a quick and effective method to regulate #anxiety: Touch, Label & Choose (TLC). This technique helps you soothe your body, get present, and choose helpful thoughts.
If you ever feel overwhelmed or frozen by stress, this episode is for you. Learn:
💡Why anxiety shows up in your body first (and why you can’t just “think” your way out of it).
💡 Simple ways to signal safety to your body (that you can do anytime, anywhere!)
💡How to label physical sensations to create emotional distance and regain calm.
This episode will help you calm anxiety in the moment, reset your nervous system, and access the grounded version of yourself that’s always there, but often buried under the stress.

Trigger warning - adolescent suicide.
Imagine struggling to leave your firm but you’re "enmeshed" with your group, and don’t want to leave them.
Imagine you go to an in-house role, and keep “leaning in” at work, giving and giving, while your recognition flat-lines.
Imagine you work in “occupational health and safety” but your own mental health is at the bottom of your priority list.
Imagine you’ve been making progress and aren’t able to fully put yourself first, until your 11 year old daughter makes a suicide attempt, and this wakes you up in a whole new way to how you have to resource yourself
This is all part of Gwen Nightengale’s journey. Gwen - a longtime occupational health and safety attorney, user of therapy and WILL Member documents her journey from burned out associate and in-house lawyer, to a boundaried and attentive attorney and mental health advocate.
Gwen’s WILL journey takes many iterations - from the very first pilot group in 2017 to The Creator’s Circle Mastermind - a year-long journey through The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron.
Hear her speak how she found accountability, community and healing in WILL. How it helps her break isolation, see she’s not alone, and continue to expand and grow. Out of the cocoon and into the world!
About Gwen
Gwen Nightengale is an in-house Environmental, Health, & Safety Lawyer with over 15 years of experience advising clients on workplace health and safety regulatory compliance. Before working in-house, Gwen practiced in the Workplace Health & Safety practice group for over 8 years at a Labor & Employment Law Firm in Washington, DC. Gwen earned both her bachelor’s degree in biology and her Juris Doctor degree from Howard University.
Mental health and wellbeing is a passion that is near and dear to Gwen’s heart. Given that the long work hours, customer service focus, and ever evolving legal landscape can make the practice of law challenging and isolating, Gwen has been dedicating a lot of her time outside of work finding new activities that inspire joy, build community, and foster resilience. She is a member of the WILL Creator's Circle, which is a mastermind focused on Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way. Her work in the Creator's Circle inspired her to create a Substack, A Deeper Well. Here, she speaks candidly about her mental health journey. If Gwen weren’t working as a lawyer, she would likely be an attorney wellness coach to support other minority women attorneys with practicing law resiliently and sustainably.
